Hello and welcome! Today we’re celebrating the release of the Altenew Nostalgic Memories Stamp/Die/Stencil collection! If you arrived from visiting Claire Apostoloff, you’re right on track. If you’d like to start from the top, please visit the Altenew Blog. Check the bottom of this post for giveaway information and the full blog hop list.
Thinking Of You
My first card features the new Nostalgic Florals stamp, die, and coloring stencil bundle (the product are also available separately). I started by stamping the floral outline, then I used the coloring stencils and blending tools to color in the images. To finish, I used foam tape to adhere the florals and the sentiment to a background I made using older Altenew products. These florals are so pretty and the layering stencil set includes more layers than I used here.
Supplies:
- Nostalgic Florals stamp, die, and coloring stencil bundle
- Ink for outline: Permanent Black
- Inks for blooms: Fresh Lemon, Chamomile, Coral Berry, Fuchsia
- Inks for leaves: Bamboo, Fresh Leaf
- Small blending tools
- Fine Frames Cover die
- Dotted Tile Debossing Cover die
Love & Peace
My second card features the Good Vibes stencil set and the Far Out Phrases die set. I used blending tools to blend the background in three shades of yellows and then trimmed and glued it to a slightly larger piece of orange cardstock. Next, I ink blended sentiments, glued them to white shadow layers, and then adhered the sentiments to the background with foam tape.
Supplies:
- Good Vibes stencil set
- Far Out Phrases die set
- Inks for background: Maple Yellow, Chamomile, Snapdragon
- Inks for sentiment: Aqualicious, Teal Cave
